Resealbum: Fishingtrip in Sweden
When it´s had been raining for a week and they say that it´s gonna be worser who is such an idiot that they booked a fishingtripp out on the sea then?
Me, who else!
Wake up that early Saturday morning about 6 o´clock and it´s still raining outside, put some coffe on and packed the fishingbag and a quick breakfast before I wake the others, still raining and the daughter start looking for her rainingclothes and mumling about wich idiot she is thats gonna do something so stupid as go out fishing early on one day free from work.
Almost one hour later we arrived to the harbour and finds out that there is almost no parkingplace left and a big travelingbus stand in the middle of everything I thought, good we are not the only idiots here!
On the fishingboats ( 4 it is this day) you can see all the fishfanatics with their windoveralls and all the other stuff you need for fishing out on the sea and there am I with my rainclothes that I bought for just 129 skr just for this things when you don´t wanna be afraid of getting it destroyed!
Just leaving the harbour the rain stoped and you could see the rainbow over the city and out on the sea and the sun started to find his/her way during the clouds I feel quite happy that we decided us to go defiance the weather!
Some hour later, with 15 swedish kilogram of Herrings in our trunk, I realize that the others are´nt fanatics they are just as we, people who likes to get out on a fishingtrip now and then and the weather don´t mean a thing, you doing because it´s fun and you meet new people every time that tell you their stories!
Later that night when it´s started to blowing a lot and the rain it´s real hard against the windows I´m happy that I´m inside with candlelights on the table and a good movie on the Tv!
Propably this was the last fishingtrip for this year but you never know!

Resealbum: Fishingtrip in Sweden
The latest summers we have been out fishing in Öresund, the water between Sweden and Denmark.
You can go out for your own, if you had boat, but you can also go with some of all the fishingboats that daily during the hole summer take tourist or real fishingfan out for fishing!
Codfish, Herring & Mackarel is what you moustly get, but there is other fishes to.
This summer we went down to the south part of Helsingborg to a place called Råå, here they have some fishingboats but they also take people out to the Island Ven, so it´s perfect for the whole family, they who not want to fish take one other boat out to Ven, were they can hire bicycles, bath or eat on some of the restaurants.
On the boat you can hire what you need for the fishingtrip, they also sells hotdogs, coffe, lemonade.
Moustly the trip is for 4 hours but they have longer trips also.
There are fishingboats even in the north harbour of Helsingborg and in Mölle!
Last summer we moustly get Mackrel when we went out fishing and this year Herring, so we all hope that next summer will be our Codfishsummer, what is better than newboild codfish, potatoes and some real nice sauce, I´m getting hungry just thinking about it!
If you are interested in the fishingtrips you can read more about it on http://www.raabatarna.nu
Right now I´m looking ahead for the wekeend, it´s fishingtime again!

Today I heard the Cuckoo for the first time this year!
Was sitting on the balcony with my morningcoffe, clearblue heaven and the birds singing, when I sudden heard the Cuckoo call in the east.
For me, and certainly many other Swedes, the Cuckoos is the typical sign that now is the summer on the way for real!
And when I came back out there it was still calling, so now I´m going to sit down there for a while and listening!

I went out for a walk this morning, when a thought, about how lovely it is right now here in the south Sweden, came over me!
All the springflowers in the gardens, parks and forrest, all the tree´s thats just starting to get green, the sun from clearblue sky and it is not even cold!
The spring is realy in the air and it´s now we have one of the best time of the year!
So I went back home, clean´d my windows, changed curtains so the sun can find the way in and now I´m sitting here with a cup of coffe on the balcony and feel so satisfied (the best thing with a laptop).
Is´n it Lovely!?

Back again!
This time we stayed for 3 weeks and the time was runing away so some more weeks had been good!
First 2 days in Bangkok, shopping at MBK & Chatuchak Market (weekend market), Siam Ocean World, a trip whit the riverboat to the tempel, palace and some other places.
The SkyTrain was a perfect way to get around!
Down in BangKwaiVillage, a little village between HuaHin & Cha-Am, we lived at the Condo as we allways do, 1650 SKR for 2 person and 17 nights, thats no money to talk about, and you have eerything you need if you want to do some cooking, but that we never did, toilet, shower, TV, internet.
We rent motorbikes for the hole time and the same whit that, 30 SKR a day.
Thanks to the bikes we went out for a lot of trips that we haven´t don otherwise!
Visit our friends from sweden that have built a house up on the mountains of HuaHin, went to our other friends sportclub, went out on the country & drives around on smal streets in smal villages!
Daytrips to River Kwai, Floating Market & the Tigertempel in Kanchanaburi, another daytrip to BangSaphanNoi & the Island KhoTalu for some snorkling and sunbathing on the lovely white beaches.
Elephanttreeking in the Elephantpark near HuaHin.
Some evenings we took our bikes and went in to HuaHin and the nightmarket & weekendmarket and some other smal markets.
One of our last days we took our bikes to ChaAm, sat down on the beach, bought some thaifood and watch the sunset over the sea, then we went to a real nice Thairestaurant by the sea, that kind of restaurants where you only find thaipeople, such a food they have, barbequed shrimps, chicken satey, fish, tomyumgung soup, thaifriednoodels with egg, and much much more for the price of almost nothing.
For some evening/nights there was a real Thaifestival in the part of the village were the Thaipeople lived, first we said ni that´s not for us it´s their thing, but the second night we went there, if things are cheap in Thailand on the market it was much cheaper there on their own market.
One of my friends bought one bracelet on the nightmarket for 1500 bath, I bought the same one on the festival for 350 bath, Billabongshirts for 50 bath to the kids, chicken satay for 5 bath, beer for 10 bath and so on.
Of course we had a lot of time by the pool & the beach, 45 degrees celsius, so we had to lay by the pool a lot.
Not a sign of rain until the last night in BangKwai, 15 minutes of rain in the middle of the night, that was the first rain since november last year.
The last night we spent in Bangkok again, we had an early flight home, the last shopping, some more gifts to people back home, a good thaidinner and then we went to bed for the last time in thailand for this trip.
We came home and find out that spring is in the air, soon summer & then time to planning the next trip and I belive that´s not gonna be any discussion over where we gonna go!!!

What can be better in the summer when it´s warm & sunny, than take the boat out to the Islands, not much!
For many years ago we just did that, a couple of friends, and the weather was great, the picknickbasket was full with food and drinks, we found a nice emty space where we bathing & sunbathing the whole day, and on our way back to the mainland we stopet on one of the Islands to have dinner in the sunset.
We did this a couple of times that summer, but then we split up and I thought that I will never came back there again!
But so wrong I had!
Some years ago one of our friends meet a girlfriend from their hometown Gothenburg, they moved together & when the summer came they asked us to join them on a vacation in their summerhouse outside of Gothenburg on the Islands.
Sometimes the world is smal!
It was on one of this lovley Islands where I spent my summer!
We have some real relaxing days, one day the boys (men) took the ferries to the mainland and then the streetcar in to the middle of Gothenburg and went for football while we (the girls) took the ferries out to one of the other Islands, find a nice retaurant & eat shrimps with wine.
One otherday we have a large barbecueparty and saw the sun went down in the ocean, so nice!
Since that summer we went back every summer for some days in our summerholliday, just because it is so relaxing & beautifull out there.

Once when I was younger I always said that I will never go back to the same place again, I wanted to see diffrent playces and countries, but now, many years later and after visiting Thailand for the first time, I changed my plans of seeing other places!
Right in this moment we are planing for our 4th holiday in Thailand & it´s the 4th year in a roud we went there!
Everytime we went to a little village called BangKwaiVillage, just between HuaHin & Cha-Am, rent an apartment for 100 SKR/ night for 2 pers.
Sometimes you take the cab and went out for a sightseening & to take a daytrip to another place!
The Island KohTalu where you can dive & snorkling or just sunbathing on the bech is only 2 hours drive away.
The river Kwai is also only about 2 hours drive!
Another time you rent a motorbike and take your map and drives around i the neigbourhood.
In HuaHin there´s always a nightmarket & a lot of smaler marketplaces, where you just can walk around and look.
The food at the market is cheap and delicious.
We always starts our weeks in Thailand in Bangkok, Asia Hotell in the middle og Bangkok, just 10 minutes walk from MBK, SiamCenter, you cant live better.
Some hours with shopping in MBK, the market, and some delicious food at night and day 2 your are a realy tourist that went to see some of the famous places in Bangkok.
This next time we take a hole lot of friends whith us, but for them it is the first time & while they are out looking for all that we already have seen we are going to take the bus down to KohTau for some days and diving & snorkling.
In my dreams I´m already back in Thailand again!
